Funny both the topics were started today and they are the same problem.
Monroereef was having the same problem- The bio-calcium you are using is a 1 part additive. It is both calcium and alkalinity so alkalinity is getting added in through there. The best i would say to do is go out and buy bright wells 2 part or the b-ionic stuff and dose the calcium part and let...
Phil does your tank ever change its consumption rates- i remember when i used to dose two part my tank would either take calcium or alkalinity faster so i found myself dosing more of one then the other i also know Wendys tank does that im not to sure if it still does that.
The two part stuff you have what is it the bright wells a-b dosing stuff? What your going to have to do is just add the calcium part of the two part- the first bottle is calcium the second is alkalinity. Your corals are starting to take up the calcium and the alkalinity is a bit higher so its...
if just the calcium part of the two part was added a little bit every day- then the calcium would go up and the alkalinity would go down a tad- so i would say dont dose the alkalinity part of the two part and increase your calcium dosing part but dont over do it, change the dose a little bit...
There deff one of my favorite fish- i like to watch them go behind the rocks and come out completely black then watch them change colors and have there blue spots shine like crazy.
Its funny wanting these red hermit crabs i have try to get it off the rock but they dont seem to be strong enough. if you dont feel like clipping the coral you can probably peel the algae off with tweezers.
I got lucky with the big emerald crab- i still have a tiny spot of it left in my tank im going to let it get big and see if only the full grown emerald crabs eat the stuff.
It is called brown wafer algae. You can get lucky if a tang eats it. I picked up the largest green emerald crab that i could find and he demolished the stuff- but hes gotta be strong enough to get it off the rock.
Hah mine was the original one from ora still on its plug and i cant figure out why its not growing- i think because it is trying to encrust but its going straight down and it wont get much light there.
I use salifert and found them to be pritty accurate. Some corals are more sensitive to others. My bottle brush went if my salt changed a tad bit but my scripts acro went through numerous alk spikes when i moved to a bigger tank and he re grew over the dead parts- Bop seems to be very sensitive...
